I just submitted my research proposal to the U.S. Department of Energy @departmentofenergy.bsky.social

This proposal combines microbial physiology, biochemistry, and genetics to study methanogenic #archaea (methanogens) under stress.

Wish us luck, because we're going to need it!

Rejection from @beckman-foundation.bsky.social 😞

My lab is at high risk of closing due to lack of funding, but I'll keep trying.

We need money to do super cool science, please fund our lab!

I just sent a letter of intent to the #Beckman Young Investigator Program #BYI

We're proposing a very fancy, high-risk project that will advance the field of #anaerobes and #archaea, and beyond. We hope @beckman-foundation.bsky.social will invest in this project!

Submitted!!! 🥳🥳🥳
My first CAREER proposal was submitted to #NSF!
I hope the #reviewers and #NSF staff will positively evaluate our research proposal on methane-producing archaea under stress.

I couldn't attend GRS and GRC #Archaea this year
I hope all the archaeobiologists have a great time there.

I'd love to participate in "Archaea Week"! But please give us some time! 😆😅
My lab is working on a couple of manuscripts on the physiology of Methanobrevibacter smithii (a human-associated methanogenic archaeon) and Methanosarcina acetivorans (a marine methanogenic archaeon).
